We had another ultrasound yesterday, Monday, March 8, and everything seemed ok. Nothing better, nothing worse, really. The fluid on Emma's brain had not changed from the week before, but it's still much higher than what we're used to. They did not do any growth statistics on her; the last we know is that she was in the 14th percentile of her weight 2 weeks ago. She was just over 5 pounds, which doesn't sound like a small 14th percentile baby to me - what kind of babies are they comparing her to?!?! I think they'll do more growth measurements next Monday, the day before she's scheduled to arrive. They measured her vitals yesterday and gave her a "test" based on those vitals, plus her movement and practicing breathing. She was being a little rascal and wouldn't move very much OR practice breathing. She was a sleepy little girl, and I thought we would be there for hours. She finally got over her stage fright, though, and gave them what they wanted!
She is breech and always has been, with her feet, legs, arms, and fists up over her head and in front of her face. There are times when I sit down and can
definitely feel something digging up under my right rib cage.
Russell and I are still praying for healing for our sweet baby - we will continue to do so, as long as it takes. Thank you so much to all of our friends and family who have supported us through this pregnancy! Not much longer now...
On a different note, Lola is NOT ready for the baby to come because that means she can't curl up in my pregnancy pillow anymore.
